In response to Shyness

In schools there should be tests such as the sociometric test shown in the movie Shyness. There are very often kids who are shy and the teacher may not particularly notice this and having a psychologist come into the classroom can address these problems. If a teacher does notice the shyness in some students they may not be able to identify the type of shyness the student may have or how to help them address the issue. Some students, as shown in the film Shyness, can be shy due to a child with a mental “sickness”, a want to be alone or a typical shy child who wants to be involved with the other students but lacks the confidence to be a part of their activities. Whatever the matter may be, these issues must be addressed for the child to have a healthy social life within the classroom. Having the psychologist come into the classroom and identify the children with shyness as well as identify the type of shyness they may have, the children will have a much better chance of becoming more social throughout their entire life.
